  • Applications

    Isopropyl lauroyl sarcosinate (CAS 230309-38-3) is used primarily in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient and mild surfactant, also functioning as a conditioning agent and skin feel enhancer. It also appears in household cleaning products as a mild surfactant with cleansing and solvent-like properties for formulation compatibility. In coatings and inks, it can act as an emulsifier or surfactant to stabilize formulations. In the polymers/plastics sector, it may serve as a processing aid or plasticizer to improve processing ease and the soft feel of materials.
